Weil-McLain GV-4 Overheating

Intermittent overheating as high as 250 and lots of gurgling and hissing

I replaced the limit switch and set lower to 160 but still intermittently goes higher (220) with flame off











Finally got video and audio of the thing doing what it does



Not great, but you'll be able to hear (turn your sound up) and see temp

Hope someone has seen this and can help

Temp gauge

At 1:20 flame starts and temp goes up

at 3:45, 175-180 flame goes off - still gurgling



at 4:00 hissing sound is from the vent - pressure is 20



at 6:15 temp hits 220 even though circulator is still running
